an article about the medical/pain complex

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/11/27/our-dangerous-fear-pain/

interesting stuff

current recommendation - no more than 1 week of opioids after surgery

however - 1 comment said fewer than 1% become addicted to opioids -
and most opioid deaths involve contaminants / fentanyl etc

maybe opiodism is like alcoholism - its a problem when its a problem
(when it affects a persons life negatively)
